Democratic Ownership and Civic Participation in Europe

Acronym: DOCPIE
Submitted under the Europe for Citizens Programme's 2.3 Civil Society Projects action:
Debating on the future of Europe: In the current debate on the European Union in times of the economic crisis and following the European elections of May 2014, there is a need to deepen further the discussion on the future of Europe on what kind of Europe citizens want, also stimulating new forms of civic participation whilst reinforcing those existing. This debate should be based on lessons learned from history and consider in particular the concrete achievements of the European Union. Such debate should not be limited to citizens already supporting the idea of the European Union, but reach out to citizens who have not been involved so far, or who reject the Union outright or put in question its achievements.
The main applicant and coordinator of DOCPIE is the Slovenian organizationDruštvo za razvoj podeželja.
